Ambient Advantage for Greener Shipping

We prioritize ambient shipping whenever possible, eliminating the need for coolers, dry ice, and gel ice.

By adopting ambient shipping solutions, we aim to minimize the need for refrigeration or controlled temperature environments during transportation, offering numerous benefits for both our customers and the environment. Benefits include reduced energy consumption, lower emissions from transport, reduced packaging costs, and increased operational efficiency. Our ambient shipping approach for Invitrogen antibodies aligns with our commitment to deliver sustainable solutions without compromising product safety or efficacy.

Ambient shipping of Invitrogen antibodies

Expect to receive more of your Invitrogen antibodies shipped at ambient temperature, reducing the adverse environmental impact of shipping products at cold temperatures.

We are also excited to introduce a paper-based and recyclable padded paper pouch for antibodies shipments, offering improved sustainability benefits while ensuring the safe and secure delivery of antibodies.

Through rigorous temperature stability testing, including broad immunoassay validation, we have demonstrated that antibody products shipped at ambient temperature perform identically to those shipped with cold-chain conditions and maintain long-term stability.

Protecting your antibodies: our validation process

To ensure the efficacy of this new shipping approach, our testing team at Thermo Fisher tested multiple lots of antibodies and subjected them to rigorous validation, allowing for comprehensive evaluation and analysis.

Reducing environmental impacts

By eliminating the use of cold gel packs and coolers for shipping our antibodies products, we decrease packaging, thereby reducing waste and emissions during transport.

This change in shipping method has the potential to eliminate more than 98,000 kg of paper and 200,000 kg of gel ice packs and reduce emissions.
